「Wednesday」
She met with Rick, standing on top of a bridge. He smiled at her sweetly and held his hand out to her. Talia, heart pounding and face beginning to feel quite hot, took his hand slowly, and his fingers closed around hers.
"Let's go over here," he said gently as he led her onto the middle of the bridge. Underneath the structure stood a vast lake, more beautiful and serene than she had ever seen. The lilies shone brightly under the peaceful moonlight, and the tint of the flowers was a majestic and dark pink. Rick's hand in hers, she felt completely at peace and felt like her face was burning up. They stopped in the middle of the bridge and Talia held her breath as they peered down and saw their happy reflections in the pool of water.
"It's pretty, isn't it?" he asked her, turning to look at her,
"Absolutely breathtaking," she muttered, still looking down at the water.
"What's your favorite thing about it?"
"Everything," Talia answered immediately. "It's so peaceful and vast and I just feel so happy when I stand on top of it - "
"No, silly," Rick said, laughing at her answer. "Not the lake. You."
Talia turned red and pointed to herself. "Me? You...you were talking about me?"
"Well, yeah!" He grinned again. "I don't see anybody else here, do you?" he asked, pretending to look over her shoulder. "As far as I'm concerned, the lake here is ranked number two in comparison to you..."
And then Rick reached forward to brush her hair and his face came closer. There was a familiar scent in the air and as his face come closer and closer to hers. Talia squeezed her eyes shut, her heart pounding in her chest, her palms sweaty and her mind completely blank. Just as his lips was inches away from hers -
DING DONG! DING DONG! DING DONG!
Talia jolted up from the couch, her eyes wide open now.
Talia had laid sprawled out on her couch, her eyes closed. She felt a type of exhaustion that could not be explained; she was not exhausted physically, but mentally. She still had a long way to go before Rick would get back and she was dying to meet with him again. Because of the warm weather, her endeavors, and her exhaustion, she had fallen into a deep slumber and almost had...another kiss. She slapped her cheeks several times to get herself to wake up and then sprung up from the couch immediately.
DING DONG! DING DONG! DING DONG!
Talia flung open the door to meet a very impatient mail man who immediately looked relieved after she had opened it. "There you are," he said, handing her the package and the stylus that needed to be used to sign for it. "I almost thought that you almost didn't want this."
"Ah, never," Talia said with a laugh after she had signed and given it back to the mail carrier.
"You sure are getting these a lot this week," the mail man said, putting the stylus back into his bag. "Must be from someone special, huh?" he sighed. "To be young and in love..."
Talia smiled. "Yes, someone really special to me."
The letter was as sweet as Talia expected it to be.
「Very
True to my word, I thought of you so much yesterday that you appeared in my dreams. We were boating in a lake and there were plenty of macaroons and cakes to go around! In the dream, I was almost able to ...oh, never mind. It's not very important. But how I wish you were really here with me. Lots of girls here give me looks...maybe I look weird to them? They say the girls in Europe are really pretty, but they're not quite up to your par. Take care of yourself for me and I can't wait to see you again really soon!
Please wait for my return.
「Eternally Yours,
Rick
Talia beamed the darkest shade of red and kissed the letter several times. She couldn't help but feel the utmost type of security and happiness knowing that even when there were several female fatales in his presence that she still remained his number one. She tucked the letter inside of the box and sighed before she closed the lid.
